hey i was just browsing youtube and found your videos! i really enjoy them, very helpful, fun to watch and not boring like the other channels! love your work :D
Those cup holders lol. Wondering who got that job... I know there was an old 7 series BMW where they let the engineering interns design the fold out cup holders haha
Thank you! For getting the name right, which so many editors and reviewers don't. Love your videos as well... I think they're some of the best- thanks! g-
***** And it's amazing the pushback people have when they are told it is not pronounced "porsh". The most common response is "I don't want to sound like a pompous ass". Maybe it's just me but accuracy should never be confused with arrogance. Now lets tackle Hyundai...
Poor Tom, having to reach out for the ignition on the wrong side for an entire week! Tough job, eh? Those cup holders tho... I'd say that a car is only as good as its cup holders (or the lack of 'em) so the way Porsche engineered them shows how far away they are from competition...
Beauty! Thanks Tom. I love your comment about a caffeinated squirrel! We see the little rascals in our hazelnut tree every year... 911 parked next to you at Costco I noticed. Musta been a big special on toilet paper 😀 Silly question: was that a real centre lock wheel nut? As seen on a GT3. Cheers.
Tom, I would love to hear your impressions of the driveability, character, sound and the new 3.0 litre engine, of the 991.2 Carrera/Carrera S/GTS as soon as you get a chance.
After they switched to water cooled, my dad couldn't get over it lol, had a 1994 Porsche 911 with 9k miles, just sold it for $75k, for a 26 year old car man! I couldn't get over it lol
ray britton That's one I'd have to see in person (photographs are notorious for not truly representing the way a car looks in person). My initial take is that it's elegant, I'm just not sure if the back end is too heavy. Sadly I'm not at Pebble to see it.
my smart is in the shop, MB gave me a new C300 4Matic as a free loaner(this thing costs as much as a year's salary for me, twice the size and weight of my smart with 3 times the ponies!) maybe i can win the lotto and get a Porsche :)
Depends. If you're talking about the turbo s then no it's not overrated. Turbo s competes with much more expensive super cars and is a better performer. The base 911 is a lot of money tho
True that. All 911's are incredible machines. I once owned an 87 and it was sensational and beautiful. They are tremendous in every way. Way expensive though.
If you live in the US then they are cheap compared to other countries and no one can complain there. A lot or r&d and production costs. I have to buy them used as they are priced much higher for me. Most 911 owners like me do not want a modern look like an R8 or Mclaren/Ferrari as we would not buy it if it looked too modern. Other brands sports cars are looking like space crafts. I own Audis and Porsches. On my 3rd 911, a 991S. Thought about an R8 but the looks just do not appeal to me. I do have 475hp monster S4 though which is as quick as most older R8's. I can push a 911 hard full throttle to over 7000 rpms each weekends on rough side roads and it just keeps on going running like new year after year with very little servicing.
Awesome...Awesome...Awesome...If I had the funds, I would buy one of these...
You're "supposed" to repush up the middle trim piece when the cup holders are out for a cleaner look ;)

the best Car of all time

It's 2023 revisiting love your review Tom as always 👍👍😀❤☕
A very nice review, never seen such a good one for GTS.
4:20 996 turbo?
Nice touch with the 996 in the background during the TP segment.
It just wandered into frame.

Driven Car Reviews I really like that you're educated (know your product), well spoken and not boring to watch. Thanks, for the reply.... g-
Tom your job is WAYYYY cooler then mine. Another great review

Which one would you guys pick. 911 gt3 or 911 carrera gts
Beauty! Thanks Tom.

How about the reliability ?
Tom, I would love to hear your impressions of the driveability, character, sound and the new 3.0 litre engine, of the 991.2 Carrera/Carrera S/GTS as soon as you get a chance.
Amazing review Tom.What a beautiful piece of machinery.
After they switched to water cooled, my dad couldn't get over it lol, had a 1994 Porsche 911 with 9k miles, just sold it for $75k, for a 26 year old car man! I couldn't get over it lol
Loved the Apple Watch Rolex comparison!!
hey Tom, really of topic but, what did you think about the genesis coupe concept at pebble Beach?
ray britton That's one I'd have to see in person (photographs are notorious for not truly representing the way a car looks in person). My initial take is that it's elegant, I'm just not sure if the back end is too heavy. Sadly I'm not at Pebble to see it.
Add the Porsche Macan to the list of practical ones.
Billy Sou And a Cayman too, there's a lot of storage space in those cars.
+Driven Car Reviews love my cayman ;)
Like your review! You deserve more subscribers!
Great review and what a dream car!
Great review and I think I know where you shot the video ;) some nice roads near Carnation :)
Terrific review, Tom!
Enjoyable review of a truly most exceptional sports car!
my smart is in the shop, MB gave me a new C300 4Matic as a free loaner(this thing costs as much as a year's salary for me, twice the size and weight of my smart with 3 times the ponies!) maybe i can win the lotto and get a Porsche :)
It's more like 60mph in 3.5 or better. The 400hp C2 S would do it in 3.5 This one has 30 more hp...
you have the best job in the world 😏👍
Fr lol
Thinking about getting one 144 month loan financing... $10,000 down... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's really pronounced "porschE". From a German speaker.
Sandouras look up the pronunciation, it’s not
When I meet with with the Porsche execs, they say Pour-Sha. When I ask the PR team how it's pronounced they say Pour-Sha. I'm sticking with that.
Great video!
Produced by the New York times.....oh fuck all that!!
It's produced by me. Who says it's produced by NYT?
sold!!
230,000$
It is not pronounced porscha!
911s are overpriced and looking very dated.. Especially compared to the upcoming audi r8
Blaspheme!
Depends. If you're talking about the turbo s then no it's not overrated. Turbo s competes with much more expensive super cars and is a better performer. The base 911 is a lot of money tho
